Welcome to the VPL Foundation

Look what YOU Made Possible at VPL!🎉

Last year, your library called—and you answered. Together, a community of caring library supporters came together to make magic happen. 

Because of you, more people than ever could access the books they love—when and where they needed them most.  

You removed barriers to stories, learning, entertainment, and inspiration. And the results were powerful. 

Here’s what YOU accomplished: 

  • 📚 1 in 4 digital books added to VPL was because of YOU
  • 📖 3,750 new e-book titles added to meet demand for popular reads
  • 👥 20,685 people in our community reached by your most-loved titles
  • 🌍 You met people where they are—delivering the books they want, when they want them, wherever they want them

Thanks to your generosity, the Vancouver Public Library’s digital collection grew stronger and more accessible than ever. 

In just one year, digital borrowing grew by 800,000 items — from 4.9 million to 5.7 million. 

✨ Donors like you are helping VPL to keep up with unprecedented and continuing demand for more digital books. ✨ 

Your support didn’t just add books—it opened doors. You gave people the power to new ideas, make deeper connections, and find joy in stories that fit their lives. 

From everyone at VPL: thank you for making reading more accessible, joyful, and life-changing for so many.
